Ghada Dwaik, Creative Director and Founder of Lumino Experience, has been developing the project for years and is now ready to deliver an extraordinary series of light festivals aimed at changing the narrative, raising the bar, and proving that the sky is the limit.
At the forefront of Egypt’s creative scene, Ghada leads Lumino Light Festival, a groundbreaking platform that merges art, architecture, music, and technology to create immersive, soul-driven experiences. She continues this journey alongside her sisters, Tahany and Heba Dwaik, forming a creative force that illuminates Egypt’s cultural landscape in new and inspiring ways.
Lumino: Reveal, Connect, Flow
At the heart of Lumino lies a simple yet profound philosophy: to reveal, to connect, and to flow.
- Reveal: Lumino illuminates the beauty of architecture, showing how light can breathe new life into the spaces it inhabits.
- Connect: The festival bridges disciplines—architecture, art, music, movement, and technology—sparking dialogue between people and ideas.
- Flow: Inspired by life’s rhythms, Lumino moves with emotion and spirit, creating experiences that are deeply human.
More than a festival, Lumino is a soul-driven celebration of life, creativity, and connection. Each edition draws from Egypt’s rich culture and natural landscapes, blending heritage with contemporary artistic expression. The result is a journey that moves the senses, stirs the soul, and creates a shared experience where creativity meets consciousness.
Lumino: Visionary Projects and Collaborations
Lumino has worked on multidisciplinary projects that combine design, lighting, and cultural storytelling. Notable collaborations include initiatives with the Italian Embassy in Egypt and the Swiss Embassy, where Lumino installations showcased the fusion of art, architecture, and technology. These collaborations highlight Lumino’s role as a platform for international cultural exchange and creative innovation.
Women in Lighting: A Global Voice
Ghada serves as Egypt’s ambassador for the International Women in Lighting community, an initiative by the Light Collective Company. She represents Egypt on the global stage, sharing panels with international artists and speaking at leading universities. This January, she will join the Women in Lighting delegation in Dubai, further elevating the voices of women in design and lighting.
Empowering Communities Through Light
Beyond festivals, Lumino leads art-driven initiatives that revitalize neglected neighborhoods, preserving cultural heritage while inspiring new ways of seeing and experiencing space. These projects reflect Lumino’s mission to create tangible social and cultural impact, proving that design and art can be both beautiful and purposeful.
A Message for Aspiring Creatives
Lumino’s journey demonstrates that courage, collaboration, and a deep connection to self and nature can illuminate not just spaces, but entire communities. The project shows that challenges are opportunities for growth, and that visionary creativity requires persistence, curiosity, and passion.
Lumino Light Festival, under Ghada Dwaik’s direction, continues to redefine Egypt’s creative landscape, showing that when passion, purpose, and innovation converge, the possibilities are limitless.
